NOTE: if you are looking for hourly or part time jobs in your area, you should look into signing up to Snagajob. It is FREE to sign up and they are the one job site online that specializes in the kind of employers and jobs that 17 and 18 year olds would be looking for.

If you are still in high school, you are probably looking for a part time job of some kind. The best place to go online to find jobs for18 year oldsthat are part time is Snagajob. This online jobs search site is the #1 job site for part time and hourly jobs.

If you have time to get a job in high school and can get one, you should seriously think about the benefits down the line. Now with jobs so hard to find, you need work experience to increase your chances of getting a job after you graduate high school. You also need to start putting together a resume (see resumes for 18 year olds) and you want to have things to put on that resume. While awards that you have won and volunteer work you have participated in is better than nothing, what employers really want to see is work experience. That is why getting a job while you are still in high school is such a good idea.

If you know you are not going to go to college and you will need a job after graduation, you might as well start looking early while you are still in the 12th grade. Your first step should be to start looking in the area that interests you so that you can find the job you want or one that is at least in the same field. If you are lucky to find a job while you are still in school, you might be able to turn that part time job into a full time job after you graduate.

Right now the economy is awful and all teens, kids, young adults, and even older people are having a super difficult time finding jobs. This is why you should start your job search early while you are still in school. Kids who start looking for jobs for eighteen year olds while they are still in school are the smart ones and will have a jump ahead of everyone else after graduation. Give Snagajob a try and get a job now before you REALLY need one!

Hi I’m 18 years old and I desperately need a job. My mom (who is a single parent) only makes about 47K a year after taxes. She works extremely hard to provide for me and my younger sibling. We can’t afford digital cable so we have basic, sometimes our water gets cut off and we barely have any decent clothes to wear. In short, I’m poor. Hard times are settling in with this economy and America being in a reccession. The reality is I’m 18 years old, graduating high school in 2 months, no vehicle or transportation and I’m unemployed while my parent struggles to make ends meet. I’m depressed because I can’t help my Mom out and she needs help with bills, and rent. Can you please help me get a job? I’m begging you please help out a friend in need. Thanks

To whom it may concern;
Im Eduard Atup , 18 years old…and I desperately need a job.
My mother has no job right now….But the big problem is…
she has now a big dept in business matters…
pls…i need a job now …..somebody can help me…?

i’m an 18 year old female and i will need a part time job, i’m kind of similar to michael charles put down.

My mom (also an single parent) got a deep cut on her ankle and she can’t pay for health insurance right now cause of the house (like gas, electrical, etc) and for my older sister, myself, and younger brother. The wound is really bad, so needs stitches cause the butterfly bandages aren’t working properly, so we need stitches for her quick. Is there any job out there that i can work to help her?
